1 2009-04-05, Version 1.1.2
2 * liboping.c: A NULL-pointer dereference has been fixed in the IPv4
3 code. This led to a segmentation fault when an ICMPv4 paket could
4 not be associated with any host. This usually happened when one or
5 more hosts were unreachable for some time. Thanks to Tomasz Pala for
6 discovering the problem and finding a way to reproduce it.
8 2009-03-23, Version 1.1.1
9 * liboping.c: Use libxnet when available. The `normal' version of
10 `recvmsg' does not provide the `auxiliary data' on some or all
13 2009-03-15, Version 1.1.0
14 * liboping.c: Eliminate the use of `strerror' and use `strerror_r'
15 instead, removing the (hopefully) last thread-unsafe function.
16 * liboping.c: Provide the TTL of received IP packets.
17 * oping.c: Allow setting of the TTL using the `-t' command line
20 2009-02-17, Version 1.0.0
21 * oping.h: Provide the OPING_VERSION to easily determine the library's
22 version at compile time.
23 * liboping.c: Fixed an off-by-one error in `ping_iterator_get_info':
24 When determining the buffer size to hold the hostname, the function
25 would return one byte too little.
26 * liboping.c: Fix an incorrect assertion in `ping_timeval_add'. Thanks
27 to Alex Brooks for reporting the issue.
28 * liboping.c: Make sure `EAI_SYSTEM' is defined at compile time.
29 Although specified by POSIX, Cygwin apparently doesn't have it.
30 * liboping.c: Add compatibility code for AIX. Thanks to Doug
31 MacEachern for the patch.
32 * liboping.c: Store and possibly return the host name as provided by
34 * liboping.c: The number of timed out packets is now counted and can
35 be retrieved with `ping_iterator_get_info'.
36 * Perl bindings: The Net::Oping Perl package has been added to
37 bindings/ and is built along with liboping.
39 2007-03-27, Version 0.3.5
40 * liboping.c: Close the filedescriptor in `ping_free', not
41 `ping_host_remove'. Thanks to Esteban Sanchez for submitting this
43 * oping.h: Include <sys/types.h> so that `size_t' is defined. Thanks
44 to Alex Brooks for pointing this out.
45 * oping.h: Use `extern "C"' when being used with C++. Thanks to Alex
46 Brooks for pointing this out.
48 2006-12-01, Version 0.3.4
49 * Fixes a bug in `ping_host_remove': Due to an incorrect hostname
50 checking the wrong host would be removed.
52 2006-07-16, Version 0.3.3
53 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
56 2006-07-13, Version 0.3.2
57 * `oping' now drops root privileges as soon as possible.
58 * `liboping' now contains an `soname' and a version.
60 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.1
61 * Removed `libltdl' from the distribution since it's not used.
62 * More nonsense has been removed from the build system. Thanks to
63 Sebastian Harl for pointing it out :)
65 2006-07-09, Version 0.3.0
66 * The ability to set the source address from which the packets
67 originate has been added to the library and the oping application.
69 2006-07-16, Version 0.2.3
70 * `sendto(2)' now catches `EHOSTUNREACH' and `ENETUNREACH' if they're
73 2006-06-05, Version 0.2.2
74 * The `oping' application didn't exit if no hosts could be resolved.
75 This release fixes it's behavior.
77 2006-06-01, Version 0.2.1
78 * Fix the behavior for non GNU-Linux systems. liboping tried to
79 `bind(2)' to the raw-socket it uses to send ICMP packets. Apparently
80 (decided by majority vote ;) this is not the right thing to do.
81 GNU/Linux never complained about it, but works find without the bind.
82 Other operating systems don't work at all with the bind.
83 * Build fixes for non-GNU/Linux platforms: Mac OS X doesn't define
84 `size_t' as `unsigned int' and therefore needs casting and FreeBSD
85 needs to have `sys/types.h' included before `netinet/*.h'
87 2006-05-29, Version 0.2.0
88 * It's now possible to set the data to be send to the remote host and
89 to get the data received from the host.
90 * The `oping' binary now calculates the standard deviation. Also, it
91 displays the number of byes that were received and other output
93 * Hosts are now returned in the same order as they were added by
94 `ping_host_add'. This is not guaranteed, but makes `oping' prettier.
96 2006-05-12, Version 0.1.1
97 * A bug in the library has been fixed: When the sequence got higher
98 than 2^16 the counter in the packets wrapped around, but the
99 internal counter didn't, causing the library to ignore all further
100 ICMP packets. This affected both, ICMPv4 and ICMPv6.
